Latin Mass, Nazis and anti-Semitism: What is pope Francis thinking?

An
article in the Washington Post (originally reported by Lilly Fowler, the
religion reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 6, 2014) talked about
the “rising popularity of the Latin Mass.” Because pope Francis has not been
wearing some of the fancy garments that previous popes (like pope benedict)
wore, some Roman Catholics were worried that Francis wouldn’t be saying the old Latin Mass – called the Tridentine
Mass -- and that not saying it was threatening
traditional worship.

But
the Latin Mass, not much celebrated for the last few decades is “alive and well”. In fact, according to the Post, “a throwback
movement is growing, in many cases with young people leading the charge.” There is even a Coalition in Support of
Ecclesia Dei, a nonprofit based in Glenview, Ill., that promotes the Latin
Mass. There is a slow but steady rise in the practice, with more than 400
churches offering the Latin mass today.

This
is really dangerous. Why? Because the
Tridentine Mass has long been associated with anti-Semitism and Nazis –
including neo-Nazis. I previously posted information about this
Mass (9/14/13 and 5/20/14) because many people do not know the history. There are others who do know the history and
promote this Mass for their own agendas.

Back
in 2011 Nicole Winfield reported (09/16/11 Huffington Post) that Jewish groups were
worried about the vatican’s relationship with a group of Catholics, including a
bishop, Richard Williamson, who denies that the Holocaust ever happened -- that
Nazi gas chambers were used for mass killing. This Swiss-based society of st. pius X (SSPX) believes
that Christ's death was the fault of all Jews. They favor the Tridentine Mass because
it includes a prayer that asks God to lift the veil so they [Jews] may be
delivered from their darkness.

The
real darkness is in the black heart of this neo-Nazi society and popes who
support it: Benedict who said SSPX could come back into the “fold” without
having to give up their beliefs and lifted Williamson’s excommunication; and Francis
gave indications that he might welcome SSPX back by supporting a Pontifical
Commission called Ecclesia Dei, which has tried to lead the SSPX flock back
into the fold.

SSPX
allows convicted Nazi war criminals to be buried in their church cemeteries. In
the 1990s the group had harbored Nazi collaborator and war criminal Paul
Touvier. Archbishop Augustine Di Noia, one of Rome’s
top dogs, wrote a letter to SSPX priests, pleading for “reconciliation and
healing.”

SSPX
is a growing danger because they have six seminaries, three universities and 70
primary and secondary schools around the globe. In addition to Williamson it
has three other bishops, more than 550 priests and 200 priests in training. Are they training to incite another
Holocaust? Pope Francis doesn’t talk
about the real issues -- these skeletons in the vatican closet.

About Me

When I was three and a half years old, I and my five year
old brother Frankie were raped by a catholic priest and put in St. Agnes Home and School in Sparkill, NY. I was beaten every day and then smothered by a catholic
nun. I didn't die but I was in a coma for almost year, leaving me brain damaged. After we got out, my
brother killed himself because he couldn't help me or accept the abuse we received. I want everyone to know
about the brutality and crime then and still going on in the catholic church. I want to stop
the crimes the church commits against our children and us and get justice for the victims. Give me your ideas
so that we all succeed in making this world safer for our children.
